To continue on from a recent post, one of the advantages of an academic job is that all the extended hours you build up with 14hour days on campus is that you can buy back a little bit of time to undertake necessary chores that you don't have time to do in normal hours like people with normal jobs.
That can mean finding your way to a post office bank to (finally) get around to cashing in a cashback offer from mid-January, or getting your hair cut in a more timely fashion because the hairdresser fortunately isn't quite as busy on Monday as they are on the weekend...
Some of our work is portable so we can keep working away from the office but it is nice to get out of the office at times as well.
The sojourn to the post office bank allowed for a short detour through one of the larger parks in the district, Akatsuka Koen. I've been through here a few times and there's always something interesting.

I just reckon the pic of the forward feathered defence of lunar guard of the park proletariat just might be today's money shot though.
Now, back to my reading.
